Luke Ceddia b586eafd3b Integrated _BLINEINPUT into regular LINE INPUT for BINARY files
LINE INPUT will now use the faster method if passed a file handle
that has been opened FOR BINARY. As such, the _BLINEINPUT command
has been removed.

qb64.bas now takes advantage of this for reading from '$include files,
at least in Include Manager 1. Some tweaking of internal/source/main.txt
was required to get things into a sane state, so I'm holing off changing
the compiler any further so the auto-builder can make sure everything's
smoothed over.

Note: Everything should still compile as normal; I'm just being overcautious.

The '''MKDIR''' statement creates a new directory at a specified path.
{{PageSyntax}}
:: MKDIR pathspec$
* The path specification is a literal or variable [[STRING]] expression that also specifies the new folder's name.
* If no path is given the directory will become a sub-directory of the present directory where the program is currently running.
* Qbasic folder names are limited to 8 characters(no spaces) and filenames use the 8.3 naming convention.
* '''QB64''' can use both long or short path and file names with spaces when required.
* The new folder will be created without a user prompt or verification.
* If a path is specified, the path MUST exist or a [[ERROR Codes|"Path not found" error]] will occur.
* [[SHELL]] can use the DOS command "MD " or "MKDIR " + path$ + newfolder$ to do the same thing.
